Not much to report really. Nick is in London for a couple of days, Tom & Lily are both off school with nasty colds and Tom has a cough as well. I saw a mouse in the kitchen last night so had to look out the traps again and dispose of a dead body this morning!
I went to Bunco last Wednesday and won £5.50 but will miss book club tonight as I don't want to get a sitter in when the children are unwell. I also had to cancel lunch out on Tuesday with Kathleen (who I haven't seen for 3 or 4 years) because of those pesky children. Oh well, I'd better be off to make up some hot drinks and clean up snotty tissues! The joys of motherhood never end.

Oh my goodness, I feel exhausted. Tom & Lily went back to school today and Les & Les left for home this morning and I went into work. Happy New Year by the way!

We had a very quiet Hogmanay and then on New Years Day Angela and the girls came over for lunch which was delicious. Nick took all the children off for a walk afterwards while Ang & I relaxed by the fire with a glass of wine and various chocolates. On Sunday, Nick's parents arrived for a few days which was lovely as we hadn't managed to get down to see them. We had a very cold visit to Broughty Ferry on Tuesday ending up in a small cafe called Toast for some hot chocolate. There is a great play park by the castle which Tom & Lily enjoyed very much but we cut our walk on the beach short as it was exceedingly cold with a biting wind. We also managed a walk around the St Andrews Botanic Garden on Wednesday afternoon which had re opened after all the snow last month. Right, it's 5pm so time to work out what we're having for dinner I suppose.
